The Tennessean

Iím still amazed at the number of ways that people can access news and information today that barely existed a few short years ago.

There is a dizzying array of options available, and the the business teamís goal is to provide you the information you need to know when you need to know it, whether thatís in print, on social media or in your email in-box.

To that end, Iím happy to announce the launch of The Tennesseanís second daily email product. Last week, the Business section began sending out an email newsletter each morning at 6:30 a.m. with all the stories from that morningís print edition, and any late-breaking stories that developed overnight. It is designed to tell you everything you need to know as you start your workday.

Thatís in addition to an afternoon email product that gives you the top headlines that develop throughout each business day.

Both of these email products are delivered Monday through Friday, and can be accessed by simply visiting Tennessean.com/newsletter and logging onto your account. From there, click a check box beside the ďDaily Business NewsletterĒ option.

Local experts

As we continue to look for ways to expand our business coverage, we are always looking for ways to tap into the experts through the Nashville business landscape. To that end, Iím pleased to introduce some new names and faces that will be providing expert commentary on a number of key topics for The Tennessean.

In todayís edition, youíll see a column by Ben Hanback, founder of The Hanback Group. His company is an employee benefits, enrollment and human resources consulting company. His columns are designed to give you all the tools you need to help get your professional lives in order and focused on meeting your key goals.

Another recent addition to our Sunday lineup is J.J. Rosen, CEO of Atiba. His focus will be on the growth in the mobile industry, and how it is affecting businesses and consumers. Rosenís company has been helping Nashville companies with their technology needs for nearly two decades.

Starting next Sunday, Bytes of Knowledge co-founder Julie May is joining the lineup to help explain the ever-changing software market, and what it means for todayís companies. Mayís firm was recently named a website awards finalist in the 2013 American Business Awards, also called the Stevies. Bytes of Knowledge was chosen as a finalist in two categories for their work on Loganís Roadhouse mobile website and commercial real estate firm Southeast Ventureís website.

And finally, starting on Mondays, Ed Rappuhn, a business counselor from SCORE, a nonprofit group designed to educate and mentor entrepreneurs, will be taking our questions on the basics of starting and growing a business.

From writing a business plan to finding office space to making that first hire, SCORE counselors are able to help get a business started the right way. Last year, SCORE counselors in Nashville worked with more than 1,200 clients who were looking to grow their businesses. Rappuhn will take questions directly to SCORE counselors for their expert advice.

These people join a growing list of experts who appear in The Tennessean each week to help you grow your business, improve your career and manage your money. Expect to see more additions to our lineup in the coming weeks.
